Mermaid Song is a commissioned WebXR narrative created for VIVERSE by HTC. This tranquil experience invites users into a dreamlike world where solitude and connection blur, offering a quiet opportunity to rediscover one’s voice. Originally designed for VR but accessible across desktop and mobile, it tells the story of a cursed mermaid in search of healing and friendship.

Launch Celebration & Trailer
Here’s a special look at the debut of Mermaid Song, including a quick unboxing of the VIVE XR Elite and the premiere of the official trailer.
As a solo indie developer, I was responsible for all aspects of production, including game & narrative design, visual art, voice acting, music, animation, development, and technical implementation in PlayCanvas.
This version of Mermaid Song will be expanded and reimagined as part of my VR story app, The Dream Lodge, deepening the story and enhancing interactivity for standalone VR.
